The two arch-rivals, Pakistan and India, will face off in the semi-finals of the Asian Hockey Champions Trophy on Wednesday, August 9, 2023. The match will be played at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Hockey Stadium in Chennai.
Pakistan and India have a long and storied rivalry in hockey. The two teams have met 189 times in international matches, with India leading the head-to-head record 100-60. However, Pakistan has won the last two meetings between the two teams, including a 2-1 victory in the 2022 Asia Cup.
Both teams are coming into the semi-final match in good form. Pakistan has won three of their four matches in the tournament, while India has won two and drawn two. Pakistan will be looking to avenge their loss to India in the Asia Cup final, while India will be looking to continue their unbeaten run in the tournament.
Pakistan will also qualify for the semis if Japan isn’t able to beat China during the first match of the day. Meanwhile, Korea’s defeat against Malaysia will also favour Pakistan but qualification for the semis, in that case, could come down to goal difference especially if Japan beat China.
